Description
UNWWWELCOME is a short adventure game inspired by ENA and early internet in general. ESEL just got banned on his favorite forum for trolling FOREVER. But he just can't wait that long, so it's up to him to find a way to get unbanned! Do whatever it takes, Esel.
For each track there is a description defining what the OST is for.
Message from the artist
huge thanks to frozzy for coming along and helping me with this submission!!!! pls check him out hes like. awesome. not only did he make le epic chase track but he also he helped me with Esel's design which i was rlly struggling with
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
the main character is banned and needs to figure out a way to silently unban himself! The ban is represented with a prison of sorts, and our main character Esel has to escape it
as for the way these songs are composed, I decided to give myself some freedom in terms of instruments and sound effects which works pretty well i think idk dude please tell me this is good enough last time i participated we got #486 out of 600-something on correlation to the theme 🥀🥀

Finally got to this submission, the one I wanted to get to the most!
From the get-go, just the aesthetic of this submission is divine - so creative and quirky (which is very fitting for the story and music), and the art itself is super endearing! The tracks titles, the way the project and submission pages are designed - it's all so awesome! The story here is also really cool, and all of these aspects come together to create the most enticing thing i've seen in a while!
Now for the music itself,
ur only welcome HERE : Awesome beat, and sets up the vibe for the entire OST. I'm gonna mention it more, but the sound design is incredible - the instruments are produced perfectly, and the added sound effects are fantastic! The build here is awesome, and it all reminds a lot of Toby Fox's music (which I personally ADORE). Very quirky, very fitting.
slow 'n steady... : Love that baseline! Using Harpsichord is also a surefire way to make me LOVE a track. This one definitely gives off major sneaky vibes. I also really like the break in the middle, and the sound design is still fantastic!
...DOES NOT WIN THE RACE. YOU BETTA RUN! : Hell yeah! This one is super energizing, and serves its purpose very well! I really like the super chromatic melody, and the dynamic builds and changes are great (on all three tracks)! And of course. the sound design here is so perfect! The ringing (which was also on previous tracks), the train-station-y announcement in the middle, the crash in the end - perfect!
I wish I could write more, but I really have to go, so I'll just say this is a fantastic submission, and I wish ya'll the best of luck!!
Absolutely love the story idea here. It's really unique and plays really well with the overall style and vibe of your music. There is this sort of crunchiness of the chiptune sounds and the art visuals that fit perfectly together.
"ur only welcome here" starts things off with a straight-up bop. Sets the tone nicely for the rest of the OST, and stays interesting throughout, which is doubly impressive considering it's pretty much the exact same drumbeat for the entire song. Other little variations sublt and otherwise, like the little key change towards the end, really helps keep the track fresh for the whole runtime.
"slow n' steady..." gets right into it with a groovy bassline, and I immediately imagined
Seinfelda SNES platformer with your little jester lookin' dude sneaking around. You did a really nice job here with the various musical elements and sounds entering and leaving the song at different times, again keeping things from ever getting remotely stale."...DOES NOT WIN THE RACE. YOU BETTA RUN!" is a banger and somehow manages to bring even more variety into this already rather dynamic soundtrack while still keeping things incredibly cohesive. The guitar is a nice touch, and -- you just HAD to put in the windows error sound ahaha
ur only welcome here has some really nice ear-candy throughout. There are such poignant oldschool roots in this, it is hard not to groove along with it. From the occasional scratching to the use of organic samples such as the telephone ringing - these are all just the perfect spices to sprinkle on top of an already strong piece. Melodies are interesting and the bass and percussion fit really well together; playing to one another's strengths.
slow n' steady... keeps playing to what it does well; great bass voicing and some more scratching to spice things up. The percussion here has a kind of lazy amble to it, which I love. The bass continually descending only emphasizes this all the more, and leaves so much room to play around with melodies on top. Speaking of - those melodies and held wavering chords are fantastic.
...DOES NOT WIN THE RACE. YOU BETTA RUN! is a great track to round things out with; some new samples joining the fray and a chaotic kind of rush with those xylo(?) arpeggios. This track reminds me of so many different things at once that it is hard to even nail down what to talk about. Main melody here is super catchy and really drives that anticipatory rush vibe all the more. Finishing this off with some modulation on tempo and pitch was really clever.
The thematic execution here is genuinely phenomenal. The art, the chosen sound palate and the overall vibe all locks into itself so perfectly to the point where I feel like I am listening to an actual game's OST. Fantastic work.
